%X This study examined the triadic relationship of gender role conflict (GRC), normative male alexithymia (NMA), and menĄ¯s friendships qualities with other men as well as the impact of this triadic relationship on menĄ¯s (N = 216) psychological well-being (PWB). Bivariate correlations revealed significant correlations among all four variables. High levels of NMA and friendship discords factored in as the best predictor of menĄ¯s PWB, and accounted for the 37% variation in overall PWB scores with an effect size of f2 = .60. The moderation analysis indicated that GRC significantly moderated the effect of NMA on menĄ¯s PWB scores, Ļ¤R2 = .073, F(1, 212) = 20.795, p < .001. Clinical and research implications of the study are discussed
